OK, they are both correct. But for reasons other that physicality's. Understand? The thinner Buddha symbolizes a young Buddha, this one is known as Siddhārtha Gautama Buddha. This Buddha is usually found in India and surrounding countries. The larger, healthier Buddha is more rampant in eastern Asia, like China, and Japan. He is known as Hotei Bu-Dai. His image is actually taken from a Chinese monk, he symbolizes prosperity, which is why he looks fat, rich men with plenty of food usually are fat, or so it's depicted, but not just that, his weight is significant of his wealth and riches, not necessarily monetary, but life riches and spiritual wealth. Happiness, peace, etc...Hence his laughing stature. NAMASTE

It's a statue, don't believe the image of a state 'cause no one alive now was there when Buddha actually existed. Besides, you're looking only at one style of the Buddha statue, there's another where he's of normal size.

Neither. Both are bones now at best since they are both dead.
